The decanoate produces an early high peak which occurs during the first day and then declines with an apparent half-life ranging from 6.8 to 9.6 days following a single injection. After multiple injections of fluphenazine decanoate, however, the mean apparent half-life increases to 14.3 days, and the time to reach steady-state is 4 to 6 weeks.
Ok, you are correct on the active half-life. I am slightly confused on the scientific aspect. I took Chem 1 and 2 in college but thats about as far as my biochem goes.
Correct me at any time, I am not trying to argue - just learn. The decanoate ester has the same half life regardless of the chemical it is attached to so DecaD's half-life can be approximated by fluphenazine decanoates - correct?
So if the half-life after multiple injections is 14.3 days then does that mean that you will have a dose that won't effect your test levels after 14 days or that you will have half the amount in your body as you did 14 days ago.
How much of a drug (say Deca) will suppress you? Is it when your levels dip under 50 ? Under 25? 10 ?
www.roidcalc.com shows the active mg/day. 14 days after your 6th week @ 500mg once weekly you have a blood concentration level of 24 - assuming you stop at week 6 inject. Is that suppressive? 21 days after your 6th inject you have 12. Is that suppressive? Thanks.
